Kumbhirgram Airport

Kumbhirgram Airport (IXS) in Silchar, Assam, opened in the mid-20th century and operates a single small passenger terminal, serving as the principal gateway to the Barak Valley and nearby hill districts. The compact regional airport handles mainly domestic traffic and is important for connecting southern Assam and neighboring states; it’s a short drive from Silchar—approximately 15–20 km—served by taxis, shared cabs and local buses. While not a major airline hub, Kumbhirgram sees regular services from carriers such as IndiGo, SpiceJet and Alliance Air. Travelers find it generally affordable for domestic trips, though fares can rise at peak times.
